usage

# create a mysql service named lolipop
dokku mysql:create lolipop

# you can also specify the image and image
# version to use for the service
# it *must* be compatible with the
# official mysql image
export MYSQL_IMAGE="mysql"
export MYSQL_IMAGE_VERSION="5.5"
dokku mysql:create lolipop

# you can also specify custom environment
# variables to start the mysql service
# in semi-colon separated forma
export MYSQL_CUSTOM_ENV="USER=alpha;HOST=beta"
dokku mysql:create lolipop

# get connection information as follows
dokku mysql:info lolipop

# you can also retrieve a specific piece of service info via flags
dokku mysql:info lolipop --config-dir
dokku mysql:info lolipop --data-dir
dokku mysql:info lolipop --dsn
dokku mysql:info lolipop --exposed-ports
dokku mysql:info lolipop --id
dokku mysql:info lolipop --internal-ip
dokku mysql:info lolipop --links
dokku mysql:info lolipop --service-root
dokku mysql:info lolipop --status
dokku mysql:info lolipop --version

# a bash prompt can be opened against a running service
# filesystem changes will not be saved to disk
dokku mysql:enter lolipop

# you may also run a command directly against the service
# filesystem changes will not be saved to disk
dokku mysql:enter lolipop ls -lah /

# a mysql service can be linked to a
# container this will use native docker
# links via the docker-options plugin
# here we link it to our 'playground' app
# NOTE: this will restart your app
dokku mysql:link lolipop playground

# the following environment variables will be set automatically by docker (not
# on the app itself, so they won’t be listed when calling dokku config)
#
#   DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_NAME=/lolipop/DATABASE
#   DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_PORT=tcp://172.17.0.1:3306
#   DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_PORT_3306_TCP=tcp://172.17.0.1:3306
#   DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_PORT_3306_TCP_PROTO=tcp
#   DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_PORT_3306_TCP_PORT=3306
#   DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_PORT_3306_TCP_ADDR=172.17.0.1
#
# and the following will be set on the linked application by default
#
#   DATABASE_URL=mysql://mysql:SOME_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-lolipop:3306/lolipop
#
# NOTE: the host exposed here only works internally in docker containers. If
# you want your container to be reachable from outside, you should use `expose`.

# another service can be linked to your app
dokku mysql:link other_service playground

# since DATABASE_URL is already in use, another environment variable will be
# generated automatically
#
#   DOKKU_MYSQL_BLUE_URL=mysql://mysql:ANOTHER_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-other-service:3306/other_service

# you can then promote the new service to be the primary one
# NOTE: this will restart your app
dokku mysql:promote other_service playground

# this will replace DATABASE_URL with the url from other_service and generate
# another environment variable to hold the previous value if necessary.
# you could end up with the following for example:
#
#   DATABASE_URL=mysql://mysql:ANOTHER_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-other_service:3306/other_service
#   DOKKU_MYSQL_BLUE_URL=mysql://mysql:ANOTHER_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-other-service:3306/other_service
#   DOKKU_MYSQL_SILVER_URL=mysql://mysql:SOME_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-lolipop:3306/lolipop

# you can also unlink a mysql service
# NOTE: this will restart your app and unset related environment variables
dokku mysql:unlink lolipop playground

# you can tail logs for a particular service
dokku mysql:logs lolipop
dokku mysql:logs lolipop -t # to tail

# you can dump the database
dokku mysql:export lolipop > lolipop.sql

# you can import a dump
dokku mysql:import lolipop < database.sql

# you can clone an existing database to a new one
dokku mysql:clone lolipop new_database

# finally, you can destroy the container
dokku mysql:destroy lolipop

Changing database adapter

It's possible to change the protocol for DATABASE_URL by setting the environment variable MYSQL_DATABASE_SCHEME on the app:

dokku config:set playground MYSQL_DATABASE_SCHEME=mysql2
dokku mysql:link lolipop playground

Will cause DATABASE_URL to be set as mysql2://mysql:SOME_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-lolipop:3306/lolipop

CAUTION: Changing MYSQL_DATABASE_SCHEME after linking will cause dokku to believe the service is not linked when attempting to use dokku mysql:unlink or dokku mysql:promote. You should be able to fix this by

  • Changing DATABASE_URL manually to the new value.

OR

  • Set MYSQL_DATABASE_SCHEME back to its original setting
  • Unlink the service
  • Change MYSQL_DATABASE_SCHEME to the desired setting
  • Relink the service
